We successfully completed our robotic urology courses on 5-7 September 2022 at RMK AIMES Surgical Training Centre in Istanbul.
We had 3 faculty members including Mr. Salah Albuheissi (Bristol, UK), Dr. Mudhar Hasan (Dubai) and Dr.A.Erdem Canda (Istanbul, Turkey).
We had 4 participants during our courses.
Day 1: Robotic radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic LN dissection human fresh frozen cadaver course:
We had 2 trainees. Trainees performed insertion of the abdominal ports, robot docking, complete NVB sparing robotic radical prostatectomy with posterior approach, bladder neck sparing, bilateral standard and extended pelvic LN dissection. Urethro-vesical anastomosis with and without barbed sutures were performed. Anastomotic sutures were removed thereafter and bladder neck was wide excised. Then, bladder neck reconstruction was performed and urethro-vesicl anastomosis was re-performed. Tips & tricks were explained during the course by the faculty with interactive discussions. Da Vinci robotic simulator training was also included.
Day-2: Robotic upper urinary tract porcine model course:
We had 2 trainees for 1 kidney. Trainees performed abdominalal port insertion, robot docking, renal pedicle dissection, robotic partial nephrectomy (upper pole, medial lobe, lower pole and heni-nephrectomy), robotic nephrectomy, ureteral dissection and uretero-ureterostomy. Tips & tricks were explained during the course by the faculty with interactive discussions. Da Vinci robotic simulator training was also included.
Day-3: Live case observation in the OR:
Dr.A.Erdem Canda performed a live robotic radical prostatectomy procedure in the operating room that the faculty and trainees observed with interactive discussion.
